Mel, I'm with you on this--what a great line up and the staff band just covered everything so well. I was just thinking this morning as I reflected on the show, is there any song that Roy Rosetta does not know????? He simply amazes me each time I hear him play. Bob Saxton is a wonderful guitar player and Tiny did a great job on bass. I did not know the drummers, but they worked so hard too.
I also was also proud of the job Jack Hammer and his group did, most of them are from Itawamba County, Mississippi, the place where I was born many years ago.

Mel and Wendell, it was folks like you that make our efforts acceptable and enjoyable. Wish I could have spent more time with you two during the show. Thanks for being here and hope we see you soon again.
